[Bioc-devel] deprecated extractTranscriptsFromGenome

[James W. MacDonald]

Hi Raf,

Under ?extractTranscriptsFromGenome I see this:

Description:

WARNING: The tools described in this man page are obsolete and in
the process of being DEPRECATED.

‘extractTranscriptsFromGenome’ extracts the transcript sequences
from a BSgenome data package using the transcript information
(exon boundaries) stored in a TranscriptDb or GRangesList object.
DEPRECATED. Please use ‘extractTranscriptSeqs’ instead.

‘extractTranscripts’ extracts a set of transcripts from a single
DNA sequence. DEPRECATED. Please use ‘extractTranscriptSeqs’
instead.

Related utilities:

‘transcriptWidths’ to get the lengths of the transcripts (called
the "widths" in this context) based on the boundaries of their
exons.

‘transcriptLocs2refLocs’ converts transcript-based locations into
reference-based (aka chromosome-based or genomic) locations.

‘sortExonsByRank’ orders (or reorders) by rank the exons stored in
a GRangesList object containing exons grouped by transcript.


Best,

Jim
